Hi guys
Looking into buying a set of spotties (preferably the lightforce genisis) as
well as a snorkle and
uhf radio. I am looking qt the GME TX4500 cb radio.
I have enquired at opposite lock, arb and tjm, and just for snorkle and lights, the cheepest quote was over 1,200.
Does anyone know of a cheaper option to go for in SA?
Maybe another
shop?
Cheers, matt

There's another mob down at Mt. Barker that I've bought some gear off but be stuffed if I can remember their name. They have an online ebay
shop as
well as a normal
shop and extensive workshop.

OK...dug up the reciepts. The guys at Mt Barker are called FNB 4WD Supplies. Phone 8391 4594.
I have no financial interest in either of these two businesses...just a very happy customer. :)

Fourplay for the lights and
snorkel..not sure they have UHF tho?
Prefer 'The electric bug' on Torrens rd. for communication expertise.

I get a lot of stuff from Don Kyatts on Regency Rd - used to be called "
Adelaide Truck and 4wd Spares". They had the common safari snorkels in stock. Not sure what lights they have. For the radio, consider buying online from
Prestige Communications.

Ebay
You will pay more locally, probably $200 more.
I try and buy locally but when the savings are so much only an idiot would buy locally.

Hay Muntoo ; us idiots that buy local are hopefully keeping locals in work cash in town and giving our kids a job .
If we all started buying over seas , what will happen to the locals shops etc !!!!!!!!
